During the last half hour of G-tot's nap today I went out and picked some veggies from our garden. Cucumbers, green peppers, jalapeños, and tomatoes. Good God the tomatoes. I had to go back for a third container I have so many tomatoes. And I'm not talking about big beefsteak tomatoes either. I'm talking little 1–2 inch Cherry & Golden Pear tomatoes along with some Romas.

Need proof? Here's a picture of what I picked just now. The cukes, peppers, and Romas are in the basket. The two bowls are all Cherry & Golden Pear (with the exception of a few jalapeños).

This is not an accumulation of several days harvest. Trust me, there are many more on the counter & in the fridge (cukes & japs only in the fridge) that I picked the other day. Nope, this it just what I could pick in that 30 minute window before G-tot woke up. The gallon of milk is there just for a size comparison. Everyone knows how big a gallon of milk is, right?

It's not like we planted a ton of tomato plants either. Just six. Two of each variety. Now I need to figure out what to do with all of them.

God, I love tomatoes! I miss the days when the family had a garden! I didn't get any tomatoes grown this year...still thinking about it for fall, though... man... I would love an overabundance of such!

Make salsa! It's easy and with all the different kinds and colors, it would be awesome. I did that once back when we lived in L.A., and it was delicious. But I don't remember how so I can't give you a recipe, so mostly I'm no help at all.
